- MCPBUS Structure
- Members
- Remarks
- The MCPBUS is used as an input parameter to many of the MCP API functions. The MCP driver modifies only those members explicitedly defined by the individual functions. For example, the API will not modify the lpOutBuffer or dwOutBufferSize members (the buffer that lpOutBuffer points to will of course be modified); therefore, the caller may set these values once and not need to reset them prior to invoking subsequent MCP API functions. The only structure members modified by an MCP API function are those explicitly identified as output parameters.

FUNCTIONS
Summary
The following section describes each function of the API. A short description of the purpose for
each function is provided along with detailed descriptions of input and output parameters and
return values. Refer to the constant definitions section of this document for function return
value, property type and operation attribute constants.
The MCP API comprises the following functions:
Function Description
McpEnum Enumerate available MCP devices on the host computer.
McpOpen Establish a communication channel with an MCP device.
McpClose Close a communication channel with an MCP device.
McpReset Reset the communication channel.
McpGet Retrieve the value of a property from an MCP device,
embedded application, or MCP driver.
McpSet Modify the value of a property from an MCP device
application or MCP driver device instance.
Mcpcall Execute a command defined by an embedded application in
an MCP device.
McpWait Wait for a notification message from an MCP device.
